Storyline

A U.N. space expedition to the planet Uranus discovers a bizarrely familiar world right out of their own heads, featuring places and people the crew members recall from their past. It's all part of a fantasy created by the planet's master, a giant, pulsating brain that can also turn their worst thoughts into reality.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | It was noted that certain plot elements bore a striking similarity to plot elements from Polish writer Stanislaw Lem's (at the time) recent 1961 novel "Solaris." That novel would later be the basis of authorized films including a TV-Movie (Solaris (1968)) in 1968, a cinema version by Andrei Tarkovsky in 1972 (Solaris (1972)) (both from the Soviet Union) and an American production (Solaris (2002)) in 2002.

| Goofs | Given the length of time it would have taken a flight to Uranus to occur, let alone the time it would have taken once the crew is "frozen" by the alien for the apple to have shriveled to that degree, the crew members would have had substantial beard growth. See more » |

And while we're up above, we'll touch the star that we have wished upon. There our love will take wings and go on and on. Mm-mm, journey to the seventh planet in your heart. Let a spark of love begin to start for us, to share forever. Seventh planet, seventh heaven, if you learn to care, our love will be beyond compare. # See more » |
